RbYAML

= RbYAML - A pure Ruby YAML 1.1 loader and dumper

Project Contact: Ola Bini [e-mail]

The code is based mostly on the Python code written by Kirill Simonov [e-mail] for PyYAML3000.

RbYAML is a project originating in the JRuby project (http://jruby.sourceforge.net), to create a pure Ruby YAML parser for use in JRuby and SYCK cannot be used in this case. Since the effort of writing a new one from scratch seemed like a major undertaking it seemed easier to port an existing one.

The current functionality is more or less 1.1-compliant. What's missing is the Unicode-support. The idea is to have the interface resemble SYCK as much as possible, but this is still work in progress, since some of the major architectural choices are quite different.

== Use

Just require 'rbyaml' and use it as you would use YAML, but in module RbYAML instead:

    require 'rbyaml'
    
    RbYAML.load("--- \n- A\n- b\n- c\n")       ---->   ["A","b","c"]
    "foo".to_yaml                              ---->   "foo\n"
